Hi Wei,

your double bond is clearly not correctly defined in your cif file.
It should be significantly shorter - 1.3A instead of 1.5A.
However, it is easy to edit the expected values manually into your cif file.

Try to find PAM.cif in your coot directory (palmitoleate) to find the correct value. Be careful that you edit the correct bond. Your numbering might be different.

Are you sure that there is no cif file for your ligand already existing?

Best, Matthias

Hi all,
I am working on solving a X-ray crystallographic protein-ligand structures. Attached please find initial oleoyl-CoA structure (elbow.001.pdb) and the ligand structure in the final model (ligand in structure.pdb). When open these in pymol and use "show as lines and set valence, 0.1" to show double bond, the double bond between C9 and C10 in oleoyl-CoA fatty acid part is only visible in the initial ligand structure (elbow.001.pdb) but not in the ligand in the final model (ligand in structure.pdb). I got the initial ligand using smile string by Phenix. eLBOW and fit the initial ligand to the electron density, and then refine the structure in the presence of cif file. I am wondering whether any of you happen to know why in the final model (ligand in structure.pdb), double bond (C9) is not visible. Is it because the double bond is missing or is it because I didn't display it correctly? Thank you so much!

Best,
Wei
